The Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds (MRDEUF) will not charge costs for control for Croatian partners involved in an Interreg Europe project.
On-the-spot verifications of individual projects are carried out by the controllers at the premises of the controlled beneficiary and/or in any other place where the project is being implemented (e.g. at project event/meeting, at the place of physical project output or virtually).
For projects chosen for performance of on-the-spot checks, on-the-spot checks will be conducted when in the reporting period infrastructure/works/equipment have been reported and at the latest upon completion of project implementation, i.e., after the last expenditure has been incurred and before validation of the last report.
In addition, further on-the-spot checks may be performed in accordance with potential risk identified during project implementation.
2014-2020
This section provides information on the system set up for first level control in Croatia for the 2014-2020 programming period.
The costs associated with this control are indicated so that they can be planned for in project budgets.
Croatia uses a centralised control system.
Croatian project partner's expenditure must therefore be checked and confirmed by the approbation body.
Project partners submit their progress report to the first level control body within 15 days after the end of each reporting period for verification and confirmation.
If a request for clarification(s) is made, the project partners will be granted 5 days to reply.
